    I can usually manage to go sideways mentally without too much provocation. Sleep deprivation works every time.(LOL)

    Clean it up nicely Billy,
    Sterling Basket
    Pierced
    Pretty
    Footed
    Gorham .. 1895
    Dimensions ... length, width, hight.
    Condition, dings, scratches etc.
    PRICE??? ..

    Look on Ebay Billy under 'Sterling Basket' and see what they are asking .. be careful as many of them are plated, it will give you some idea of how to price for the sterling ones. Good Luck dear friend, Joy.

    Okay Billy, but be sure to clean it before you list it, it will be WAY more attractive to prospective buyers .. it's really nice, Joy.

    there are several threads here on cleaning silver....but I doubt Billy would have any of the products.....not buying silver often enough to need them....
    So...clean cloth and warm soapy water.....good for a start !

    Hi Komo,
    I make my own for only pennies instead of dollars. Take a pair of white cotton gloves soak in 2 cups cold water add 1/2 cup ammonia and 1/4 cup of liquid silver polish. after soaking and wring out. Hang to dry. When they become really black and grody, wash and then resoak.

    & they've served me well...:)

    Hi komo,
    I bet you don't do as much as I do. I go through maybe 5 pairs a year. Of course I do a lot of silver.:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:
